I'm having trouble fitting a rear facing car seat in the back without having to move the front seats up all the way. I recently tried the gracco slim but it was still too big. Please help!

**edit: thank you all for your suggestions. I ordered one you recommended and crossing my fingers for when it comes!!

Put it in the middle. The anchor points are a weird angle too. That's what we had to do with our Nuna.

I was very surprised considering how big the X3MC is.

I had rear facing seats in my f30 and f80, can't see why you shouldn't get something to fit the X3m.

No issues with Britax One4Life, Boulevard, and B-Safe rear facing car seats. The front seat was pushed up quite a bit but not all the way.

I have a Nuna Rava and had no issues installing in back passenger seat. You should be able to fit it in without any issues

Cybex Aton2 in here. I agree that the X3M's back seat is not that spacious when carseats are concerned.

I had a Doona in the rear passenger seat that only required the front passenger seat to be moved up 1cm or so.
